Klu Kluck Scram

A small online collective group dominated by a manipulative narcist who constantly meddles in the personal lives of their small cadre of followers. undermining their self image & esteem playing them off against each other. This toxic collective will typically hold court on some corner of social media somewhere where the narcist feels they'll have opportunity to grow their miniscule following. Typically this group of maladaptive is predominantly female following 'mean girl' rules, though there are also typically a few gay adherents (often closeted) & asexual males involved plus the attendant compliment of socially isolated heteronormative men seeking sexual gratification. However there are predominantly (often exclusively) male variants of such groups that typically also identify as Incels or hate groups. It is unknown to this researchers whether there are GBLT variants. Anecdotally there have been unconfirmed reports of such groups.

Typically anyone the narcist feels is or becomes a threat or has the audacity to question any of their many impetuous decrees is typically targeted very publicly for some minor or inconsequential or imagined infraction the narcist will make a big show of blowing up at before melodramatically ignoring them. Inciting their followers to hate bomb, ridicule, harass and dox the offender, which followers are quite eager to comply with, as it offers them a temporary relief from the relentless internal manipulations the narcist conducts otherwise.

double grat scam

A restaurant server not informing their guest that a gratuity has already been posted to their check (as is policy in many establishments on tables of 6 or 8 or more guests), thereby the guest tips again not realizing it has been included, resulting in the waiter receiving, basically, a double gratuity.

Yeah, but that made his night. Ahhh, the double grat scam...
